            It’s been an interesting year for Chloe Grace Moretz to say the least. She started the year with a big box office bomb in The 5^th Wave, a sci-fi/action hybrid that was negatively received by critics as well. From there, she co-starred in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, trying her foray in comedy and it worked to her advantage as the movie was one of the most underrated of the year so far. It seems that Moretz has her next project in sight though as The Playlist reports that she’ll star in The Miseducation of Cameron Post.

            The film is based on the novel by Emily Danforth and takes place in the early 90s following a girl who is forced into gay conversion therapy after getting caught with the prom queen. This is an incredibly timely film due to the recent election in which the Vice President elect has strong feelings towards homosexuals and gay conversion therapy. Moretz is set to play titular lead in the movie.

            In addition to that, Moretz isn’t the only talent whose been added to the cast. Also, Sasha Lane, the breakout star from American Honey as well as John Gallagher Jr., Jennifer Ehle and Forrest Goodluck have been added to the cast. Lane is set to play Post’s friend who is also in the clinic with her. No info on a potential release date for this, though it seems they’ll be getting in front of the cameras soon, so look for this to be released sometime in 2017.
